Git 2.34 Release Notes
======================
Updates since Git 2.33
----------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* Pathname expansion (like "~username/") learned a way to specify a
location relative to Git installation (e.g. its $sharedir which is
$(prefix)/share), with "%(prefix)".
* Use `ort` instead of `recursive` as the default merge strategy.
* The userdiff pattern for "java" language has been updated.
* "git rebase" by default skips changes that are equivalent to
commits that are already in the history the branch is rebased onto;
give messages when this happens to let the users be aware of
skipped commits, and also teach them how to tell "rebase" to keep
duplicated changes.
* The advice message that "git cherry-pick" gives when it asks
conflicted replay of a commit to be resolved by the end user has
been updated.
* After "git clone --recurse-submodules", all submodules are cloned
but they are not by default recursed into by other commands. With
submodule.stickyRecursiveClone configuration set, submodule.recurse
configuration is set to true in a repository created by "clone"
with "--recurse-submodules" option.
* The logic for auto-correction of misspelt subcommands learned to go
interactive when the help.autocorrect configuration variable is set
to 'prompt'.
* "git maintenance" scheduler learned to use systemd timers as a
possible backend.
* "git diff --submodule=diff" showed failure from run_command() when
trying to run diff inside a submodule, when the user manually
removes the submodule directory.
* "git bundle unbundle" learned to show progress display.
* In cone mode, the sparse-index code path learned to remove ignored
files (like build artifacts) outside the sparse cone, allowing the
entire directory outside the sparse cone to be removed, which is
especially useful when the sparse patterns change.
* Taking advantage of the CGI interface, http-backend has been
updated to enable protocol v2 automatically when the other side
asks for it.
* The credential-cache helper has been adjusted to Windows.
* The error in "git help no-such-git-command" is handled better.
* The unicode character width table (used for output alignment) has
been updated.
* The ref iteration code used to optionally allow dangling refs to be
shown, which has been tightened up.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* "git bisect" spawned "git show-branch" only to pretty-print the
title of the commit after checking out the next version to be
tested; this has been rewritten in C.
* "git add" can work better with the sparse index.
* Support for ancient versions of cURL library (pre 7.19.4) has been
dropped.
* A handful of tests that assumed implementation details of files
backend for refs have been cleaned up.
* trace2 logs learned to show parent process name to see in what
context Git was invoked.
* Loading of ref tips to prepare for common ancestry negotiation in
"git fetch-pack" has been optimized by taking advantage of the
commit graph when available.
* Remind developers that the userdiff patterns should be kept simple
and permissive, assuming that the contents they apply are always
syntactically correct.
* The current implementation of GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS is broken in
that checking for the lack of a prerequisite would not work. Avoid
the use of "if ! test_have_prereq X" in a test script.
* The revision traversal API has been optimized by taking advantage
of the commit-graph, when available, to determine if a commit is
reachable from any of the existing refs.
* "git fetch --quiet" optimization to avoid useless computation of
info that will never be displayed.
* Callers from older advice_config[] based API has been updated to
use the newer advice_if_enabled() and advice_enabled() API.
* Teach "test_pause" and "debug" helpers to allow using the HOME and
TERM environment variables the user usually uses.
* "make INSTALL_STRIP=-s install" allows the installation step to use
"install -s" to strip the binaries as they get installed.
* Code that handles large number of refs in the "git fetch" code
path has been optimized.
* The reachability bitmap file used to be generated only for a single
pack, but now we've learned to generate bitmaps for history that
span across multiple packfiles.
* The code to make "git grep" recurse into submodules has been
updated to migrate away from the "add submodule's object store as
an alternate object store" mechanism (which is suboptimal).
* The tracing of process ancestry information has been enhanced.
* Reduce number of write(2) system calls while sending the
ref advertisement.
* Update the build procedure to use the "-pedantic" build when
DEVELOPER makefile macro is in effect.
* Large part of "git submodule add" gets rewritten in C.
* The run-command API has been updated so that the callers can easily
ask the file descriptors open for packfiles to be closed immediately
before spawning commands that may trigger auto-gc.
* An oddball OPTION_ARGUMENT feature has been removed from the
parse-options API.
* The mergesort implementation used to sort linked list has been
optimized.
* Remove external declaration of functions that no longer exist.
* "git multi-pack-index write --bitmap" learns to propagate the
hashcache from original bitmap to resulting bitmap.
* CI learns to run the leak sanitizer builds.
Fixes since v2.33
-----------------
* Input validation of "git pack-objects --stdin-packs" has been
corrected.
* Bugfix for common ancestor negotiation recently introduced in "git
push" code path.
* "git pull" had various corner cases that were not well thought out
around its --rebase backend, e.g. "git pull --ff-only" did not stop
but went ahead and rebased when the history on other side is not a
descendant of our history. The series tries to fix them up.
* "git apply" miscounted the bytes and failed to read to the end of
binary hunks.
* "git range-diff" code clean-up.
* "git commit --fixup" now works with "--edit" again, after it was
broken in v2.32.
* Use upload-artifacts v1 (instead of v2) for 32-bit linux, as the
new version has a blocker bug for that architecture.
* Checking out all the paths from HEAD during the last conflicted
step in "git rebase" and continuing would cause the step to be
skipped (which is expected), but leaves MERGE_MSG file behind in
$GIT_DIR and confuses the next "git commit", which has been
corrected.
* Various bugs in "git rebase -r" have been fixed.
* mmap() imitation used to call xmalloc() that dies upon malloc()
failure, which has been corrected to just return an error to the
caller to be handled.
* "git diff --relative" segfaulted and/or produced incorrect result
when there are unmerged paths.
* The delayed checkout code path in "git checkout" etc. were chatty
even when --quiet and/or --no-progress options were given.
* "git branch -D <branch>" used to refuse to remove a broken branch
ref that points at a missing commit, which has been corrected.
* Build update for Apple clang.
* The parser for the "--nl" option of "git column" has been
corrected.
* "git upload-pack" which runs on the other side of "git fetch"
forgot to take the ref namespaces into account when handling
want-ref requests.
* The sparse-index support can corrupt the index structure by storing
a stale and/or uninitialized data, which has been corrected.
* Buggy tests could damage repositories outside the throw-away test
area we created. We now by default export GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES
to limit the damage from such a stray test.
* Even when running "git send-email" without its own threaded
discussion support, a threading related header in one message is
carried over to the subsequent message to result in an unwanted
threading, which has been corrected.
* The output from "git fast-export", when its anonymization feature
is in use, showed an annotated tag incorrectly.
* Doc update plus improved error reporting.
* Recent "diff -m" changes broke "gitk", which has been corrected.
* Regression fix.
* The "git apply -3" code path learned not to bother the lower level
merge machinery when the three-way merge can be trivially resolved
without the content level merge. This fixes a regression caused by
recent "-3way first and fall back to direct application" change.
* The code that optionally creates the *.rev reverse index file has
been optimized to avoid needless computation when it is not writing
the file out.
* "git range-diff -I... <range> <range>" segfaulted, which has been
corrected.
* The order in which various files that make up a single (conceptual)
packfile has been reevaluated and straightened up. This matters in
correctness, as an incomplete set of files must not be shown to a
running Git.
* The "mode" word is useless in a call to open(2) that does not
create a new file. Such a call in the files backend of the ref
subsystem has been cleaned up.
* "git update-ref --stdin" failed to flush its output as needed,
which potentially led the conversation to a deadlock.
* When "git am --abort" fails to abort correctly, it still exited
with exit status of 0, which has been corrected.
* Correct nr and alloc members of strvec struct to be of type size_t.
* "git stash", where the tentative change involves changing a
directory to a file (or vice versa), was confused, which has been
corrected.
* "git clone" from a repository whose HEAD is unborn into a bare
repository didn't follow the branch name the other side used, which
is corrected.
* "git cvsserver" had a long-standing bug in its authentication code,
which has finally been corrected (it is unclear and is a separate
question if anybody is seriously using it, though).
* "git difftool --dir-diff" mishandled symbolic links.
* Sensitive data in the HTTP trace were supposed to be redacted, but
we failed to do so in HTTP/2 requests.
* "make clean" has been updated to remove leftover .depend/
directories, even when it is not told to use them to compute header
dependencies.
* Protocol v0 clients can get stuck parsing a malformed feature line.
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
